Optum Software Engineer interview experience

After that, there was a final behavioral or HR interview.

Across the technical parts, it felt like the focus was on what I’d actually built and understood, rather than random theory. The overall difficulty landed around average for me, and the pacing didn’t feel chaotic.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the process still felt organized enough that I understood what each stage was trying to evaluate. Looking back, the most noticeable part was how neatly the loop mapped fundamentals to resume context before shifting to behavioral fit.
